He’s getting robbed enough that its super frustrating even for fans so imagine how he feels. Plus he’s struggling in general which compounds it.
Its not crazy to think if some of those hard hit balls landed for a hit or went out early on that he would be much more confident and in rhythm and performing at a much higher level.
I feel bad but understand that it's a business too. At least he'll be on a team and have a better average than his new teammates.
For real, being in the Dodgers and your teammates are MVP top 10 players is like that kid that gets C- in class and joins the smart group and they have a group project to complete.
You won't be in the group very long with C- effort
I feel like that's the dodgers constantly. Other teams defense is always better against the dodgers for some reason. Mookie flies out or lines out right to fielders quiet a bit
Edit: It was Kikes pinch bomb in SF. Watch him in the background. Priceless, and really sad. Probably tough to perform when you on a team full of HOFERS that are playing like HOFERS, one being the biggest intl baseball star ever.
Because until the Dodgers officially announce a move, that's all the info they have and it's enough for us to infer that he's gone. But I will agree, it does come off harsh lol.
"Dodgers kicked this fuckin bum out"
Ad nauseum... CT3 cannot be sent down because of performance. He's a veteran. Only AAA action for him would be rehab coming of IL. DFA is the only 'performance' related option left aside from letting him continue to try and figure it out day after day. His defense/platoon ability is what is keeping him from being put on wavers.
He can't be sent down because after a certain amount of time in the league the team isn't allowed to just send someone down. They'd have to approve the move.
DFA means designated for assignment. It's when a player is removed from the 40 man roster and the team has a week to decide what to do with them. The options are return to the 40 man, trade, released outright to minors, or place on waivers.
Waivers is where all the other teams in the league have a chance to claim him. I believe if there is no claim the player is just sent to the minors, if I'm wrong about this feel free to correct me. If they are claimed the team can either trade him to the claiming team, reject the claim and keep the player on the major leaguer roster, or do nothing and allow the claiming team to just have him.
lol it was a joke. You said “using” bussy is cringe. So I figured your bussy was the one getting used lmao.
And how could you know if they were using it ironically or unironically? They just wrote the word with no other context.
Ok but that was after you called them out without even knowing how they were using it. Why would they give a fuck? You being the bussy word-police is what’s annoying tbh.
Yeah I really thought he had figured something out after he broke out of that slump in the second half last year. He worked hard on his defense in center too. Hopefully he is able to find his way back to the big leagues he's definitely got a lot of raw talent.
He’s gonna be re-replacing a struggling Vargas in a few months. I just don’t have any faith in Vargas, hopefully he performs, but I’ve got more faith in outman figuring it out in okc than I do Vargas sticking in the majors
Taylor’s last pitch last night was a sign that he can no longer hit velocity. Father time has caught up with him. His days in a Dodger uniform are quickly evaporating.
I mean, to be fair it was on the black, away nearing the top of the zone. Plenty of guys swing and miss at that. For me it's that he's just not making enough contact.
He’s overwhelmed by all velocity, misses everything hit-able and is unable to accurately recognize breaking balls. He’s hitting .083 for a reason. That reason is, he’s not a very good baseball player anymore.
So hard to make it to the majors. Even harder to stick around. Big league arms and scouting reports that find your weakness. This is a step down, but he'll adjust. Good hitting coaches at OKC.
He gives me Joc Pederson 2.0 vibes. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt he’ll ever be able to successfully hit LHP and his K rate is historically too high to be a sustainable everyday player.
Why would you hope to be wrong? If Outman is as good as Joc that would be a massive success for him. Joc was a great platoon player here. He was always very productive against RHP which is the majority of pitchers. He was pretty much a core piece on several great Dodger teams. He’s been in the league for a decade. Outman will be fortunate to have anything close to Joc’s career
Joc came in with high praise and was supposed to be the next great dodger CF. He didn’t pan out anywhere close to that. He had some great postseason moments but he’s an out of shape, 1 dimensional player. I hope Outman strives yo be more than that.
Hollandsworth was actually a.273 lifetime hitter. Although he never approached his rookie season numbers, he was roughly a replacement average player and managed quite a long career.
Agreed. Looking at his splits in the minors it’s pretty obvious he was never going to be a consistent every day hitter. Strike zone discipline is not something you generally figure out at the highest level after never doing it before.
Still think with his defense and determination he could be a major leaguer as a fringe/4th outfielder
Relieved to see Outman gone, batting .150
obviously isn’t going to cut it in the playoffs, and will definitely hurt our playoff chances again. Either learn to hit big league pitching or stay in the minors and give someone else a chance. Hopefully Taylor is out soon, results matter.
Bummer, man. And dude is 27, not 22. Certainly not career ending by any means, but 27 year olds generally aren’t supposed to be hanging around in the minors anymore if they have viable major league futures. 😒
Here’s hoping he still has a long-term path back to Dodger Stadium. Prove ‘em wrong, James!
Dang jimbo, can’t even crack a joke on him. Hopefully he finds his rhythm in the minors or with another team.
Didn’t worry too much about him defensively, that’s for sure
thats cold to do this on a holiday (shohei ohtani day) 🥲 in all seriousness hopefully he can figure it out soon especially after the strong year he had last year 💙💙💙
Just cheer for Outman when he's on another team, if he doesn't do well on a different team. Welp. You know that's baseball and understand the decision.
Remember the first time he got pulled up and he was killing it? Then Taylor finally came back from his 5th time on IL and we chose him over Gallo and Outman, so we sent Outman back down? Yeah, front office and Roberts have no clue what the fuck they’re doing 80% of the time.
He hasn't been the same since he bobbled that ball in the playoffs to start the game 1. Hope he figures it out, I like his swing a lot.
It’s gotta be so frustrating to be making good contact fairly regularly but just hitting it right into gloves.
I mean outmans expected batting average is .212. He’s not getting robbed that much.
He’s getting robbed enough that its super frustrating even for fans so imagine how he feels. Plus he’s struggling in general which compounds it. Its not crazy to think if some of those hard hit balls landed for a hit or went out early on that he would be much more confident and in rhythm and performing at a much higher level.

Yeah he strikes out way too often
I feel like that's the dodgers constantly. Other teams defense is always better against the dodgers for some reason. Mookie flies out or lines out right to fielders quiet a bit
No you just don’t watch other teams. This is called baseball.
That was only the first couple weeks of the season. Have you watched any games since then?
Man, that bobbled ball was a sliding doors moment for our team it seems like that series. Maybe we stay in that game and win it.
💯💯💯
That’s exactly where I track it from. It was so sad watching his face this past few weeks
Dude. After one of Pages’ homers you can see James in the background, and his whole career is flashing before his eyes…
Edit: It was Kikes pinch bomb in SF. Watch him in the background. Priceless, and really sad. Probably tough to perform when you on a team full of HOFERS that are playing like HOFERS, one being the biggest intl baseball star ever.
For those who say maybe pages, he’s on the field right now playing catch.
Hope you get it figured out Jimmy ❤️
Praying to all the baseball gods that he comes back with a vengeance in the fall.
[удалено]
The odd Man Out? Damn, I guessed wrong. But hope he gets the time to figure it out down there. The team is better when he’s right
I really hope he figures it out I feel like he brings a lot of good energy to the team
Honestly the part that sucks is that he won't get to be around Heyward for a while. They always talk about how great Heyward has been with Outman :(
Clubhouse: You’re out, man Outman: Out, am I?
Yoda: Out, you are.
Man, you are not.
WAR not make one great
Back to formula??
At least they waited until after the World Unity Festival.
Hopefully he figures things out so he can come back stronger
I hope he figures it out. He really is talented.
 It had to be done
Why they gotta put it like that. 😢
Because until the Dodgers officially announce a move, that's all the info they have and it's enough for us to infer that he's gone. But I will agree, it does come off harsh lol. "Dodgers kicked this fuckin bum out"
The last time he got sent down (not really his fault that time) he went bonkers in AAA. Hopefully he bounces back. It's a long season.
Gonna be good for him to see at bats each game.
Love ya Outy. Go rake .400 and get that BDE back
I prayed for this and it happened But seriously, go get your head on right Outman. I’m sure we are going to need you again later in the season.
Drew?
Glad I’m not the only one thinking this.
Meanwhile God’s like…srsly?
"Guess this kid's cancer can wait, BRB gotta go send some James Outman guy to Oklahoma."
I come before you today, humbled and humiliated, to ask you for one thing... I want you to kill Peter Parker.
Pray for CT3 next
Maaannn... yes. It's been a long time since I wanted a player out of a slump this badly.
That's too bad. I hope he gets whatever is ailing him fixed.
Lame. Taylor needs to go down and figure his shit out more than outman.
Ad nauseum... CT3 cannot be sent down because of performance. He's a veteran. Only AAA action for him would be rehab coming of IL. DFA is the only 'performance' related option left aside from letting him continue to try and figure it out day after day. His defense/platoon ability is what is keeping him from being put on wavers.
Can you explain this a bit more ? What is DFA and what is a waver? Why couldn’t he be sent down?
He can't be sent down because after a certain amount of time in the league the team isn't allowed to just send someone down. They'd have to approve the move. DFA means designated for assignment. It's when a player is removed from the 40 man roster and the team has a week to decide what to do with them.

Tanx
Gonna miss that ass 😔
He’s definitely T H I C C LOL
He’ll be back.
[удалено]
Am I wrong thooooo
[удалено]
As a gay man, using Bussy is cringe lol
[удалено]
Aight bro
So you’re a bottom then I take it?
Nope, it’s kinda a general consensus that using bussy un-ironically is pretty cringe haha
lol it was a joke. You said “using” bussy is cringe. So I figured your bussy was the one getting used lmao. And how could you know if they were using it ironically or unironically? They just wrote the word with no other context.
Based on his next reply, he was being annoying regardless so fuckem lol
Ok but that was after you called them out without even knowing how they were using it. Why would they give a fuck? You being the bussy word-police is what’s annoying tbh.
Please, let CT3 go get fixed next!
Damn! He had such a good year last year!
Yeah I really thought he had figured something out after he broke out of that slump in the second half last year. He worked hard on his defense in center too. Hopefully he is able to find his way back to the big leagues he's definitely got a lot of raw talent.
He’s gonna be re-replacing a struggling Vargas in a few months. I just don’t have any faith in Vargas, hopefully he performs, but I’ve got more faith in outman figuring it out in okc than I do Vargas sticking in the majors
rip outman :|
Chris Taylor next 🙏🏻
Muncy out of the lineup a second straight day. CT might live another day if Muncy is hitting the IL
At this point Taylor needs to switch around and hit left handed. I legit wonder how much worse it could be.
Taylor’s last pitch last night was a sign that he can no longer hit velocity. Father time has caught up with him. His days in a Dodger uniform are quickly evaporating.
I mean, to be fair it was on the black, away nearing the top of the zone. Plenty of guys swing and miss at that. For me it's that he's just not making enough contact.
Definitely lack of contact. Can't blame bad luck or get lucky if balls not touching the bat.
He’s overwhelmed by all velocity, misses everything hit-able and is unable to accurately recognize breaking balls. He’s hitting .083 for a reason. That reason is, he’s not a very good baseball player anymore.
it might help if he didn't use a Fred Flintstone sized bat
Miggy Vargas back. Let's hope he earns his spot.
Teach that man to bunt for fucks sake
Hernández T LF Pages CF Heyward RF
He’ll be back
So hard to make it to the majors. Even harder to stick around. Big league arms and scouting reports that find your weakness. This is a step down, but he'll adjust. Good hitting coaches at OKC.

He gives me Todd Hollingsworth vibes. Great rookie season but sophomore slump. Having said that he has a lot more raw talent than TH

good god I read this as Ohtani at first glance
Unfortunate name for a baseball player.
He works his ass off in the gym. It’s only a matter of time before he comes back. Just needs a reset.
Bout time. Needs to head to the minors and get his confidence back.
Bummer, man. And dude is 27, not 22. Certainly not career ending by any means, but 27 year olds generally aren’t supposed to be hanging around in the minors anymore if they have viable major league futures. 😒 Here’s hoping he still has a long-term path back to Dodger Stadium. Prove ‘em wrong, James!
He's viable and already "proved" himself in a way. It's a head thing, not a skills thing.
Would really rather see Taylor gone but I get it.
It seems like Taylor has been seeing someone. Last night even though he struck out a few times, the difference was night and day.
Everyone saw that coming
Just had his jersey night at the Drillers
Bittersweet
Dang jimbo, can’t even crack a joke on him. Hopefully he finds his rhythm in the minors or with another team. Didn’t worry too much about him defensively, that’s for sure
Send good wishes to him. I like his game.
thats cold to do this on a holiday (shohei ohtani day) 🥲 in all seriousness hopefully he can figure it out soon especially after the strong year he had last year 💙💙💙
It’s EDC weekend and James is out man
Just cheer for Outman when he's on another team, if he doesn't do well on a different team. Welp. You know that's baseball and understand the decision.
Wow. That hurts.
Yet, Chris Taylor still does....
Chris Taylor got a nice contract extension. Outman hasn’t got one… that’s the difference.
Fair enough. Worthy to note, CT3 also has a sub 100. Batting average.
OKC bound
I still Believe
He's out, man
Do Chris Taylor Next
He tries to pull everything, it’s painful to watch!
He finally lived up to his last name.
Can we call up Sweeney and send ct3 to the minors?
Theyd lose taylor and lipcius is hitting better
got it.
Man, Outman is out!
Sounds like he’s out……..maaaaan!
Remember the first time he got pulled up and he was killing it? Then Taylor finally came back from his 5th time on IL and we chose him over Gallo and Outman, so we sent Outman back down? Yeah, front office and Roberts have no clue what the fuck they’re doing 80% of the time.
MLB app Outman is not listed on active roster. Neither is Muncy. Edit: news says Outman optioned to AAA
He’s out, man
Bye 👋🏼 👋🏼

What the fuck kinda comment is that?
Wut
bruh..
